One Down, One Missing, co‑written by Detective Sergeant Joe D’Alo and author David Astle, is a compelling non‑fiction account that follows a real‑life homicide investigation in Melbourne. Blending true‑crime narrative with insights into Australian policing, the book offers readers a detailed look at the hunt for the killers of Silk and Miller.

The text weaves together police procedure, forensic clues and the personal dedication of the detectives, making it appealing to fans of true stories, modern Australian history and criminology. It also provides a broader view of the challenges faced by police units in solving complex murders.

Published by Hardie Grant Books in 2003, this first‑edition paperback runs 291 pages and includes colour photo images that enhance the storytelling. The book is positioned for readers aged 9‑12 through adults, covering biography, geography and contemporary Australian crime.

The copy is in good condition with a tight binding and no writing or dog‑ears, though the cover shows some scuffing, wear, dents and a faint impression on the first twelve pages, plus a small mark on the front inner cover. It comes from a smoke‑free home.
